✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Tyrrell's Vat 47 Chardonnay is widely revered as the pioneer of modern Australian Chardonnay. Its story began in the late 1960s when Murray Tyrrell, convinced of the Hunter Valley's potential for the variety, famously 'borrowed' Chardonnay cuttings from a neighbor's vineyard under the cover of darkness. First released in 1971, Vat 47 established a benchmark for the nation. Sourced from the historic Short Flat vineyard's dry-grown vines planted in 1968, this wine is basket-pressed, fermented in French oak barriques, and aged on its fine lees. The result is a masterclass in restraint and complexity, balancing vibrant citrus and white peach fruit with a delicate, textured creaminess and a distinct mineral drive characteristic of the Hunter Valley's alluvial soils.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Tyrrell's blev grundlagt i 1858 af Edward Tyrrell og er et af Australiens ældste og mest prestigefyldte familiedrevne vinhuse, smukt beliggende for foden af Brokenback Range i Hunter Valley i New South Wales. Vinhuset har været i familiens hænder i fem generationer og har spillet en skelsættende rolle i udviklingen af moderne australsk vinavl. Det var blandt andet her, landets første kommercielle Chardonnay så dagens lys med den legendariske Vat 47 i 1971. Vingården er fortsat dedikeret til traditionelle vinifikationsmetoder med minimal intervention samt bevarelsen af historiske, rodægte vinstokke, der giver vine med en enestående regional karakter. Tyrrell's er internationalt anerkendt for sin ikoniske Vat 1 Semillon, der er berømt for sit fantastiske lagringspotentiale, såvel som for sine elegante, karakterfulde Hunter Valley Shiraz-vine og mousserende vine.
